Illegal immigration under the laws of the British mandate for Palestine. Thats generally how it works. Squatters rights, statute of limitations, etc. Doesn't make it right, just accepted. Also, Jews conquered the land from the Canaanites and such, so under your logic and mine its not their land. The population numbers are vastly different now, the jews are the vast majority now with mass migration of European jews and such so the point is moot, but the Palestinians still got screwed.

Considering the jews were a minority and built their numbers through illegal immigration... They were less than a third of the population of the land when they were given control of it. And no arguments about it being their homeland as it hadn't been their country for about 3000 years. The Celts are from the Iberian peninsula and you don't see people arguing that Spain should be given to the Irish. I don't think either side is going about it the right way, but the Palestinians had their home stolen from them and given to a minority, most of which were foreign immigrants. If I'm going to sympathise with one side, it wouldn't be the Israelis.

Ironically, victim's families were passengers on the plane.

I'm a liberal who thinks sometimes war is justified and that Political Correctness is the worst thing to ever happen to society.

Justice: Why have you not brought retribution upon your opressors? Anders: That just seems... difficult Justice: Apathy is a weakness Anders: So is death! I'm just saying!

I think if done a certain way it would be acceptible. If you have both a professional army, and compulsory military training. So that in the case of a defensive war your country's citizens are trained to repel invaders that would be acceptible. But compulsory service and being shipped out on operations and such during the compulsory service, no thanks.

So far my problems with Awakening are mostly the same problems I had with Origins. Namely the crashes, performance hits, and increasing load times. Other than that my main problem was that it tries to be so much more and fails. Vigil's keep wants to be Crossroad Keep, but it doesn't have nearly the depth. Also, if a modder can make the DLC compatible the same day the XP is released, why the hell couldn't Bioware. Sure you're going to be getting new better equipment in the XP, but not for at least a few hours into it.

My favorite is "What is it called when you punch someone with your foot?"

Isnt that the case with all meat? Beef, pork, fowl...not a carnivore in the bunch. Pigs will eat meat quite cheerfully. So I've been told. Bakin' Bacon with Macon! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sBPm6ubjnU I tend to not be a huge fan of beef, preferring Pork or poultry. I've known a couple people who went Vegan because it was popular. They then didn't take the various supplements they needed in order to provide the nutrients they didn't get from meat and dairy and started getting sick all the time and were constantly cold. We laughed and ate cheeseburgers.

just scored tickets to Iron Maiden when they hit Vancouver in June. I'm psyched and its like 4 months away.

I liked Waterworld. Sometimes I feel like I am the only person in the world who did I liked Waterworld as well. Kevin Costner himself is an awful actor, but he's done some pretty good movies. Kinda like Brad Pitt. He doesn't always do a good job, but the movies he chooses tend to be pretty good.

Obama's main failing is that he believes the Republicans can be reasoned with. This belief has resulted in nothing being accomplished because no matter how much he tries to appease them, they won't compromise. Which on one hand is to be respected, they're sticking to their guns, on the other hand thats just stupid. You don't just stonewall the whole thing, you try to tag on something you want to pass in exchange for supporting what they want to pass. Its how the NDP gets anything done up here.

Airbourne - Raise the Flag New album came out. For those who don't know them they're basically a young AC/DC. Music is very similar, vocals are similar, lyrics are all about rock, partying, and chicks.

Excitement is me. The casting is fantastic and GRRM has been gushing about the production so hopefully will turn out good. Being a very low magic world will help the budget stay on track. Only major effects work I can see needed will be the direwolves.

Anyone catch the closing ceremonies? Giant beavers and flying moose. Magical.

We didn't get the overall medal count, but we were close, we had a silly amount of 4th and 5th place finishes.

After seeing Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? I decided Israeli jews were ****. This solidifies it.

Any idea if he'll be able to walk?

I'd like to think some padding would have saved that guys life. But he was nearly reaching speeds of 90 mph. Personally, I don't think it would have made a difference. I'm not sure if I'm right about this, but didn't they used to line the outside of the tracks with hay or straw bales years ago? From what I understand it was the guys 7th run on the course, and since it was completed there has been hundreds of runs. It not so much that it is a dangerous course, its that there was a freak accident. But yeah, it shouldn't have been exposed like that.

PUDDING!

Since actual Tokamak reactors are huge, this wouldn't happen. Further, fusion materials are not actually explosive, so would actually happen (if somebody miniaturized a Tokamak and stuck it in a car) would be the car melting as the heat escapes. Nuclear bombs don't melt. Nuclear bombs are also fission reactions, not fusion.

There's no limit to what humanity can do when they put their mind to it. Me and a guy at work had a theory that God is just humanity from the future that had advanced its technology to the point where they could travel time and manipulate matter with their mind, etc.

So the US has higher taxes than Canada, and no national health care system, yet has like a trillion dollar deficit. Seriously, close some overseas bases and bring some of the 200+k soldiers home. Pretty sure Germany doesn't need a babysitter anymore.
